Create Mii characters of yourself, your family, and friends.

This popular feature from the Wii™ and Wii U™ consoles is available on the Nintendo 3DS family of systems with some exciting new touches.

It's easy to create a Mii™ character from scratch, choosing each facial feature to represent yourself, a friend, or some fanciful character. The real fun happens when you create a Mii from a photo. After choosing just a few basic settings, take a photo of yourself or a friend with the built-in camera, and let the Mii Maker™ application automatically generate your Mii character. Then make any final adjustments, and voilá! Your Mii is ready.
